Ruston Police arrested a local man last week after he was allegedly spotted shoplifting by a manager at the Walmart Neighborhood Market.
Adrian Jackson was arrested February 14 on several charges after Walmart reported he not only committed a theft but had been previously barred from the property because of earlier incidents of shoplifting.
Officers responded to find Jackson being detained. He is under permanent ban from all Walmart properties because of shoplifting. The manager said Jackson had also been seen shoplifting on February 9.
When police took Jackson in the custody, a glass smoking pipe containing suspected cocaine residue was found on him.
Jackson was booked at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for two counts of theft by shoplifting, possession of drug paraphernalia, and remaining on premises after being forbidden. His bail was set at $4,000.
